SERVICE AGREEMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS GENERAL SERVICES This Service Agreement ("Agreement") applies to the purchase from FishingFoundry.com and its affiliates (collectively, "FISHINGFOUNDRY") of all services (collectively, the "Services") selected by Customer on the Service Order Form, incorporated by reference and attached hereto, if any.
FISHINGFOUNDRY reserves the right to modify its network and facilities used to provide the Services for purposes including but not limited to accommodating evolving technology and increased network demand, and providing enhanced services. FISHINGFOUNDRY shall use reasonable efforts to notify Customer of any planned changes to FISHINGFOUNDRY's network or facilities that may adversely affect the Services provided hereunder.

TERM This Agreement shall be for the term specified by Customer on the Service Order Form (the "Initial Term"). This Agreement will be automatically renewed, at the end of the Initial Term, on a month to month basis unless either party provides sixty (60) days written notice to the other of termination of this Agreement prior to the end of the then current term. The Initial Term and all month to month extensions thereof are collectively referred to herein as the "Term" of this Agreement. Customers may terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Initial Term or any extension thereof in accordance with the Cancellation section herein.

BILLING AND PAYMENT Fees: During the term of this Agreement, Customer shall pay the fees for the Services that are set forth on the Service Order Form. In addition to such fees, FISHINGFOUNDRY may charge taxes, fees or assessments by governmental agencies and FISHINGFOUNDRY shall have the right, at any time, to pass through and invoice to Customer any new or increased taxes, fees, assessments or other charges imposed on or required to be collected by FISHINGFOUNDRY by any governmental agency. Customer shall also be responsible for paying all taxes, fees or assessments and other charges imposed on Customer by any governmental agency that may result from this Agreement, or any of the activities contemplated hereunder. Terms Of Payment: Invoices are due and payable upon receipt. If Customer, in good faith, disputes all or any portion of an invoice, Customer must, within sixty (60) days of the date of the invoice, (i) pay all undisputed amounts and (ii) provide FISHINGFOUNDRY with written notice of the details of the billing dispute, together with all supporting documentation. The parties agree to work diligently and in good faith to resolve all billing disputes. Disputed amounts found to be properly owed to FISHINGFOUNDRY shall be paid promptly following resolution of the dispute, together with the late-payment interest fee set forth below on such amount accrued from the 30th day following the date of the original invoice. All payments shall be made in U.S. currency. Service Continuation After Initial Term: The fees set forth in the Service Order Form are guaranteed during the Initial Term of this Agreement. If Customer continues to receive the Services after the Initial Term without entering into a new agreement or agreement extension, the fees charged after the Initial Term shall be at the then standard FISHINGFOUNDRY rates for such services, without discount, determined month to month. Service Charge: Customer will pay a late payment charge equal to 1.5% (or the highest amount permitted by law, whichever Is lower) per month or portion thereof on the outstanding balance of any invoice remaining unpaid thirty (30) days after the date upon which payment is due. Suspension Or Interruption Of Service For Non-Payment: In the event Customer's account becomes past due for more than thirty (30) days, or if FISHINGFOUNDRY has a reasonably held belief that Customer may be unable to pay its debts as they become due (i.e., is financially insecure), FISHINGFOUNDRY may, in its sole discretion, suspend, interrupt or disconnect the Services upon ten (10) days written notice to Customer. In the event of such suspension, interruption or disconnection, Customer may be required to post a deposit or such other security, as FISHINGFOUNDRY reasonably deems necessary in order to resume receiving the Services. In addition, if FISHINGFOUNDRY reasonably determines that Customer may be financially insecure, FISHINGFOUNDRY may require such other action of Customer as FISHINGFOUNDRY reasonably determines is necessary under the circumstances, including letters of credit, security deposit(s), restrictions on available credit or other action as FISHINGFOUNDRY may require from time to time regardless of Customer's then-current payment status on its account or its payment history on such account. Failure to satisfy FISHINGFOUNDRY's request for such action within timelines reasonably set by FISHINGFOUNDRY may result in immediate termination of service without further notice. Customer may not withhold or set off any payment for any reason without FISHINGFOUNDRY's prior written consent. FISHINGFOUNDRY shall have no liability for any loss or damage resulting from its suspension or termination of Services under this Agreement.

ACCEPTABLE USES Customer shall at all times adhere to the FISHINGFOUNDRY Acceptable Use Policy, as amended from time to time by FISHINGFOUNDRY effective upon posting of the revised policy on the FISHINGFOUNDRY website, currently located at http://www.fishingfoundry.com. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, FISHINGFOUNDRY may immediately take corrective action, including disconnection or discontinuance of any and all Services, or terminate this Agreement in the event of notice of possible violation by Customer of the FISHINGFOUNDRY Acceptable Use Policy. In the event FISHINGFOUNDRY takes corrective action due to a violation of the FISHINGFOUNDRY Acceptable Use Policy, FISHINGFOUNDRY shall not refund to Customer any fees paid in advance of such corrective action.

CANCELLATION POLICY Customer may terminate this Agreement by giving FISHINGFOUNDRY at least sixty (60) days prior written notice. However, Customer remains obligated to pay all amounts remaining in the Initial Term and any extension thereof. In order to terminate early, Customer's primary contact person on the account should notify FISHINGFOUNDRY of such request to do so. In the case of credit card orders, all termination requests should be signed by Customer's primary contact person on the account who must provide the last four digits of the credit card on file with FISHINGFOUNDRY. However, FISHINGFOUNDRY shall not be liable for unauthorized termination of an account.

FISHINGFOUNDRY reserves the right to terminate this Agreement without cause prior to the end of the term upon sixty (60) days written notice to Customer, in which event FISHINGFOUNDRY will refund any fees for Services which Customer has paid in advance. Any termination of this agreement by FISHINGFOUNDRY or Customer shall not deprive either party of its rights or relieve either party of its obligations, in each case, as accrued prior to the date of termination, including, without limitation, Customer's obligation to pay for Services rendered prior to the date of termination.
